| Abstract | "Advanced Ceramics possess various unique properties and are equipped to withstand harsh environments. These have applications in fields demanding high temperature capability, high corrosion and wear resistance, low electrical conductivity etc. When these advanced ceramics are of nano-size, their properties drastically improve as compared to bulk. These nanostructured ceramics can be used in various applications with improved efficiency. Nanostructured ceramics have great potential for photocatalysis, gas sensing, energy storage, biomedical applications. In first section of this book, synthesis approaches for nanostructured ceramics (nitrides, carbides, oxides) have been thoroughly discussed. Structural-property relation is also included to understand their unique properties. Second section of the book deals with the energy related applications of nanostructured ceramics with thorough discussion. Third section provides the environment related applications of nanostructured ceramics such as photocatalytic degradation of industrial pollutants, gas sensing etc. This book is focused on the nanostructured ceramics synthesis, properties, structure-property relation and application in the needy area of energy and environment. This will help metallurgists, biologists, mechanical engineers, ceramicists, material scientists and researchers working in nanotechnology field with inclusion of every aspect of nanostructured ceramics for energy and environmental applications"-- Provided by publisher. |
